Come, be happy and sit near to me, 

Shadow-wested, shadow-wested misery, 

Unwilling silent bride 

Mourning in thy, in thy robe of pride 



Come, be happy and sit near to me, 

Sad as I may seem, sad as I may seem to thee 

I'm happier far than thou, 

Lady whose imperial brow is endiademed with woe 



Hasten, hasten to the bridal bead 

Underneath the, underneath the grave 'tis spread 

In gloom may our love hide 

I may rest with my eternal bride 



Kiss me, kiss me, oh thy lips are cold 

'Round my neck, around my neck thin arms, thin arms enfold 

They're soft but chill and dead 

And thy tears upon my head like points of frozen lead 



Clasp me 'till our hearts, till our hearts be grown 

Like two shadows, two shadows into one 

'Till this dreadful transport may 

Like a vapour fade away 



We may dream in that eternal sleep 

That we are not the kind of those, who weep 

Even as pleasure dreams of thee 

Thou majest dream of her with me
